Okay, I'm a Christian. You know what? If there was a ban on religions, the USA would be messing with our bill of rights, amendements to the constitution and all that. Not cool and not what the USA is based on right? Isn't freedom of religion why the pilgrims came here for in the first place?!

I'm an atheist.
That said, I'd be saddened that the government sought to stifle the free expression of religious beliefs.
I'm not against people believing in god... I don't and I have my reasons, but others do and that's fine as well. Some people NEED to believe. It's organized religion that has proven to be problematic.
What I would love to see is all religions accept all beliefs and just love the people of the world. Do not legislate morality or force others to believe as you believe. Accept that not everyone needs religion, even those to do believe in god.
It would be the same thing if non-belief were banned, if I were jailed for not believing. That would be just as wrong.

Very hypothetical question. I've recently seen some incredibly intelligent, (encouraging), & CIVIL conversations on CSpan about division of church & state. However, addressing your fanciful question--regardless of whether I'm religious or not, such a "ban" would be devastating. I wouldn't want to live in (did you mean THIS country?) a place so controlling, & biased. Such a ban would be grossly destructive.

It wouldn't affect me personally, but it would affect my feelings about whomever took it upon themselves to inact this "ban". I would be most affected by the effects of the "ban", meaning the outrageous public demonstration that would soon follow.

Operating under the assumption that you mean all religion all over the world, It wouldn't change me much. My prayers would become figures of speech and I would for the most part keep my religious view to myself. However, it wouldn't stop me from having hypothetical conversation about a given theology.

I would protest the hypocrisy because the moment you ban religion you become a religion.

I would tend to take a cynical view and I would probably
be overjoyed if it was a choice but not even lies are worth banning
power to the people

I would protest to the government in a vaariety of ways; the practice of religion is a right guaranteed in the US Constitution.
It would not directly affect me.

I would move to Canada.
I will not live anywhere that will not allow me to practice what I believe.
Any country that would do that would have done away with all the things that made the country great to begin with, so while it would be sad to leave, it wouldn't be a big loss.

It would just strengthen my faith, because that would be a fulfilled prophecy of the Bible. People talk about religion like it is about us and is ours to create or ignore. God is there whether we the world accepts Him or not.
